In a significant hostage exchange, Israeli soldier Agam Berger was released by Hamas after 482 days, while Israel freed 110 Palestinian prisoners, including Zakaria Zubeidi. This exchange marked the third round in a series of negotiations following a ceasefire initiated amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where over 47,000 Palestinians have died. Recent testimonies from returned hostages highlight the emotional and physical challenges they face as they reintegrate into society. As more hostages are expected to be released under the current ceasefire, efforts to ensure safe and dignified operations continue amidst tensions.
